Synopsis

There is no plague in Enfaire....Dead things have been found in the fields of Enfaire, a God-fearing town north of Reams. Not just dead things, but twisted forms…unholy shapes. And there are rumors, too, of a blasphemous union and of fell creatures that haunt the night. Yet even as plague and witch pyres blacken the sky, the town remains untouched by the malady that has already claimed thousands and will claim thousands more.It is here, in Enfaire, that an old Franciscan friar and his ward take shelter from a storm. It is here, in a little town on the edge of civilization, that they will have their faith truly tested.His Black Tongue is a tale of medieval horror, plunging the listener into the plague-torn land of 14th-century France when pestilence and death walked hand-in-hand, and life was little more than a sputtering candle, waiting to be put out. But there are worse things than death, than sickness and decay…and it comes upon leathery black wings.Includes The Bone Fields novella and the short story, "The Knights of the Non-Euclidean Table".

I’d like to start this review with mentioning I listened to the audiobook and the production and narration was absolutely a 10/10. It almost like watching a movie. Really incredible stuff. HOWEVER, while the audiobook was well done, the stories were a bit too fantastical for my own personal enjoymen......more

Goodreads review by Coy on June 15, 2023

Comprised of four stellar novellas, His Black Tongue is a dark descent into the Middle Ages. The learned consensus of the time was that a pernicious Hellscape hugged the underbelly of this mortal coil, and Lüthi captures what occurs when the twilight line between the living and the dead is blurred,......more

3.0 ⭐️ If you enjoy medieval, occult themes then this is a worthy read. It contains several short stories that are all similarly themed. I think, because I recently read Christopher Buehlman’s phenomenal medieval epic, Between Two Fires, that this collection lacked depth for me.......more
